Manage episode 489106718 series 3668382
In this powerful message from Northeast Christian Church, Pastor Justin Larkin unpacks Jesus’ first miracle at the wedding in Cana (John 2:1–11) — turning water into wine. But this wasn’t just about saving a party; it was about revealing his identity as the Messiah and pointing toward the ultimate moment of sacrifice on the cross.
Discover how this miracle is deeply symbolic of God's perfect timing, the joy of salvation, and the covenantal relationship between Christ and His Church.
